Padma Lakshmi was seen in a pink lingerie set from her Padma X Bare Necessities line on Friday.

The 53-year-old TV star lay face down on a white fluffy comforter on a sofa as she flashed her bottom in lace thong underwear. And then she turned to her side, making her butt the focus of the frame.

The Top Chef veteran debuted the line with new images and an interview shared to DailyMail.com on Thursday.

‘I know that women’s bodies change and have different needs,’ said the former Vogue cover girl.

‘I hope this collection makes you not only look good but feel good,’ she noted. ‘I hope that my selection is versatile and makes women feel not only like they have something pretty and special on, but that it’s functional.’

Her body has changed in recent years as she has gone from a 34C bra size to a 36DD. And she has also said her hips got wider.

Now she wants to serve ‘a variety of customers’ of all body types.

‘I’ve always wanted to do a lingerie line,’ the TV star – who talked about her ‘sexual peak’ recently – shared.

And she wants voluptuous women to feel safe.

‘I hope that everybody enjoys the lingerie, but I designed it for women who might be a little more well-endowed,’ she noted.

The ex of 76-year-old Salman Rushdie has embraced the changes to her body since she crossed 50. 

‘As I have aged, I’ve found that my breasts have gotten bigger, and if you have a bigger bust, often you don’t get enough coverage,’ the Taste The Nation star added.

The star noted that she recently went from a 34C bra size to 36DD, which she said she ‘wasn’t prepared for.’ 

‘So, I wanted something that would look pretty, but give the support that a woman with a larger bust needs, without looking matronly. We also have things like a beautiful bikini that look great on women with smaller busts.’

Turns out there is more of Padma to love. 

‘As I’ve aged, I’ve needed more support; my breasts have gotten bigger, and my hips have gotten curvier,’ said the siren.

‘And I prize comfort more than I used to. When I was young, I didn’t mind wearing uncomfortable things to look good, but now I’m not willing to do that as easily. ‘

The lingerie has ‘rich textures, intricate prints and mix of influences she’s gathered across the globe,’ said a press release.

She has also designed this long pink coverup dress with an open back

There are supportive bras and swimsuits as well as loungewear and coverups.

‘I think putting on a nice piece of lingerie can be a mood-lifter,’ she also said.

‘Even if you’re in jeans and a T-shirt, it can make you feel dressed up on the inside. 

‘Wearing lingerie is a way of caring for yourself that’s very private, and that’s also what I love about it. It’s just for you, and those you wish to share it with, of course.’

The line is more than bras, however. 

‘I wanted to try my hand at a few different garments, and these items seemed like a good place to start. It’s a humble capsule offering of the things that I think every woman needs: a couple of bathing suits, a bodysuit, a corset, bras, some pants to lounge in, a coverup to throw on over said bra and a stretchy, long dress to hang out in that’s cozy but shapely.

‘Pretty, delicate sky blue lace makes for a heavenly matched bra and panty set.

She liked being a designer. ‘It was fun to pick out the fabrics and see things go from the line drawings to actual samples. It was also fun to see everything on the fit models. All of us have different body types, so it was interesting to learn how things looked on each of us’

One of Padma’s personal favorite pieces is this zip-up rashguard.

‘One of my favorite pieces is the zip-up rashguard with the mesh panels. When you’re going to the beach, you have to put on sunblock, but it’s such a pain, especially if you’re a mom or you have a lot to do. This bathing suit is one-piece, with long sleeves for more coverage. 

‘It’s a very utilitarian suit that also looks sporty, sexy and chic in a Bond Girl way, but without being too revealing. If you wanted to be more modest, it would be a good thing to wear. 

And she kept the American woman in mind when designing. 

‘I don’t pretend that my tastes are always mainstream, so it was important for me not only to design for myself but for other women, too,’ said Padma.

She loved putting in the hours to create the line.

‘It was fun to pick out the fabrics and see things go from the line drawings to actual samples. It was also fun to see everything on the fit models. All of us have different body types, so it was interesting to learn how things looked on each of us.’

Turns out her moods change. 

‘There are times when I want a smooth, plain T-shirt bra or a racerback as a functional option. 

‘Then I also want something a little sexier for nighttime that I can wear with a chiffon blouse, or under a black blazer or a double-breasted suit for an edgier look. 

‘There are also days where I just want something pretty and delicate, like our lace bra under a sweater with matching panties. Three styles, three different moods. I wanted to do a line that addressed them all while also being comfortable.’
